Willow Elunore has always wanted an ability - but when she eventually manifests, she is disappointed. Her mother has always been one for "useful" powers, such as Flashers and Technopaths, and now hates her more than usual. So it's no surprise when Willow winds up in Exillium, but she is astonished when someone comes to recruit her into a shadowy organization. Will Willow be able to redeem herself in her mother's eyes by restraining her ability, or will she be more powerful than she's ever dreamed of, with the cost of her innocence and kindness?
